Efficient Analysis of Reflectarrays through the Use of Characteristic Modes

2015-05-17
The aim of this study is to establish an efficient analysis method for reflectarrays with varying element sizes. The efficiency of the method relies on utilization of characteristic modes as macro basis functions, and thereby reducing the MoM matrix equation size dramatically. Although the reflectarrays on the focus of this study are comprised of differently sized elements, it was observed that, when same numerical characteristic mode is used to represent the current on all patches, the resultant approximate current is sufficiently accurate to calculate the far field of the array.

Development of a pressure-based solver for both incompressible and compressible flows
Denk, Kerem; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
The aim of this study is to develop a two-dimensional pressure-based Navier-Stokes solver for incompressible/compressible flows. Main variables are Cartesian velocity components, pressure and temperature while density is linked to pressure via equation of state. Modified SIMPLE algorithm is used to achieve pressure-velocity coupling. Finite Volume discretisation is performed on non-orthogonal and boundary-fitted grids. Collocated variable arrangement is preferred because of its advantage on staggered arrang...
Limitations of three-phase Buckley-Leverett theory
Akın, Serhat (Informa UK Limited, 2005-07-01)
The broad objective of this study is to determine the limitations of the three-phase relative permeability estimation technique by using the experimental approach. In order to achieve this goal, three-phase relative permeability experiments were conducted on a Berea sandstone core plug by using brine, hexane and nitrogen gas. An unsteady-state analytical technique and a numerical technique where a black oil simulator was coupled with a global optimization algorithm in a least squares manner was used to comp...
Convergence Error and Higher-Order Sensitivity Estimations
Eyi, Sinan (2012-10-01)
The aim of this study is to improve the accuracy of the finite-difference sensitivities of differential equations solved by iterative methods. New methods are proposed to estimate the convergence error and higher-order sensitivities. The convergence error estimation method is based on the eigenvalue analysis of linear systems, but it can also be used for nonlinear systems. The higher-order sensitivities are calculated by differentiating the approximately constructed differential equation with respect to the...
Evaluation of environmental parameters in logistic regression models for landslide susceptibility mapping
Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (Informa UK Limited, 2012-01-01)
The aim of this study was to determine how well the landslide susceptibility parameters, obtained by data-dependent statistical models, matched with the parameters used in the literature. In order to achieve this goal, 20 different environmental parameters were mapped in a well-studied landslide-prone area, the Asarsuyu catchment in northwest Turkey. A total of 4400 seed cells were generated from 47 different landslides and merged with different attributes of 20 different environmental causative variables i...
Computer assisted analysis of flow over spillway chutes
Kıranoğlu, Meriç; Yanmaz, A. Melih.; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
In this study, a literature review is conducted in terms of assumptions, approaches, and various calculation methods used for the analysis of flow over conventional and stepped type spillways. In guidance of this review, a software is developed to perform such analyses with the set of given data by the user, and display results with some tables and figures. To this end, water surface profile over the spillway face is determined considering air entrainment process, pressure distribution over the crest under ...
